Posted by Judy Burrell:  As of May 10, 2008 Southwest Airlines has begun flying nonstop from RDU to Denver.  The flight is only four hours and you avoid having to have a layover at another airport, hoping that flight comes in on time, etc.  Nonstop is so great. 

One thing we have learned with Southwest is you can go online the night before your flight and get your group number for the following day.  That saves a lot of the "Southwest Hastle" of getting to the airport extra early to get a low number to board so you can get seats together and where you want them.

We're going to try this new nonstop service to Denver on our next trip to see the Grandkids.  We also got a pretty good deal on the flight with the return flight only being $99!  What a deal.  And nonstop also!
